Every week, I see the designers attaching pieces of fabric to dress forms before fitting their models. They make it look so easy!
In addition to creating handbags, I also like to design and sew outfits for myself. Fit is the critical difference between an outfit being a "WOW" and an "Oh, did you make that?" It's difficult to make adjustments while you're wearing the garment, so I've been thinking about buying a Dress Form to make my garment designing as easy as Project Runway. Well, luckily my design time won't be limited to one day or a specific challenge.
Overstock.com has a few dress forms on sale at very reasonable prices. I've also been to FabulousFit.com, but they are slightly priced out of my budget.
I'd love to hear from you. Does anyone use a dress form? Any tips?
